Not exactly what you want but I use a dynamic menu to show to output of
acpi which keeps the desktop unclatered (I don't like much eye candy
since I rairly see the desktop anyway as most of the windows are
maximized).
This also shows the time in the title (can probably be done more
efficiently, but I didn't have the time yet, don't know if sed will be
lighter then perl for this).
DestroyMenu System
AddToMenu System "System" Title
+ DynamicPopUpAction Function build_system_menu
DestroyFunc build_system_menu
AddToFunc build_system_menu
+ I DestroyMenu System
+ I Piperead 'perl -e \'open TIME, \"date +\\\"%T %a %b %d %Y %Z\\\"|\"; while (<TIME>) { chomp; print \"AddtoMenu System \\\"$_\\\" Title\\n\"}\''
+ I Piperead 'perl -e \'open ACPI, \"acpi -V|\"; while (<ACPI>) { chomp; s/^\\s\\s//; s/%/%%/g; print \"AddtoMenu System \\\"$_\\\" nop\\n\"}\''
+ I AddToMenu System DynamicPopDownAction Function destroy-system-menu
+ I ChangeMenuStyle "NoHotKeys" System
DestroyFunc destroy-system-menu
AddToFunc destroy-system-menu
+ I DestroyMenu System
+ I AddToMenu System "System" Title
